Warning! SPOILERS ahead for Severance’s season 2 finale!After three years of speculation, the true purpose of the goat department at Lumon is finally confirmed in Severance’s season 2 finale, and it’s darker than expected. One of the weirdest reveals about Lumon back in Severance season 1 was that the severed floor had a department dedicated to raising goats. The reason for Lumon’s goat department was kept a mystery to viewers and the MDR department alike, simply leaving off with an employee’s nervous insistence that the goat wasn’t “ready yet” when Mark and Helly wandered there – until season 2 gradually peeled back the cover on the strange room.
